Cathy’s passion for gemstones began during a slow spin on a Ferris wheel in Siena, Italy. It was there that her partner presented a distinctive engagement ring — an oval pink sapphire set in rose gold. She had never seen one before, and it perfectly fit her go-your-own-way personality.
That day, a path was set for two kinds of mad love — one with her partner and the other with gemstones. She left a traditional corporate career to pursue a new dream. To make it official, she obtained a Gemological Institute of America (GIA) Applied Jewelry Professional diploma.
